Playwriting is a skill under-explored in the classroom, despite the strong evidence that it’s an engaging and rewarding activity for young people. Teaching Playwriting addresses this gap and is an essential resource for teachers wanting to gain the skills and confidence necessary to introduce playwriting to their students. Based on rich research and clearly explained theoretical concepts, the book explores the lessons from creativity theory that will provide the teacher with the skills and knowledge necessary to empower students’ writing and creativity. It also includes extensive practical activities and writing exercises to develop students' playwriting proficiency and creative capacity.Discussing key concepts in playwriting such as idea, dialogue, character, action and structure, the book enables teachers to respond to the unique learning needs of their students and help them tell their stories and reach their potential as young playwrights.

Recensioner i media

An excellent textbook, full of wonderful practical exercises that are useful to anyone connected with the theatre ... It is a handy addition to the repertoire of practical guides and theoretical approaches that are the mainstay of the industry and those working in it ... A hugely enjoyable read in lots of different ways: for the beginner, for the student, for the teacher, for the practitioner. A nice addition to the Methuen Drama stable.
